Description
Cerberus Pyrotronics A/P Series, Alphanumeric Display/
Printer Interface Modules, include nonvolatile memory to
store user specific alarm and trouble messages, as well as
history log information. User specific messages can be
field programmed using a terminal or laptop computer
connected to the serial I/O port.
The Alphanumeric Display/Printer Interface satisfies
architectural requirements for local and/or remote text
annunciation of the system. The display is field
programmable.
The Alphanumeric Display consists of two 40-character
lines of user-selectable, field programmable information. In
the quiescent mode, the display indicates system status
when the “ACKNOWLEDGE” switch is activated. The
alphanumeric Display/Printer Interface also provides an
audible signal when a new alarm or trouble condition is
reported to the Control Panel. When the Alphanumeric/
Printer Interface is mounted in the control panel, the
“ACKNOWLEDGE” switch will activate the display during
quiescent conditions and to scroll the display for the
multiple messages. Located on the remote Alphanumeric
Display is a multipurpose switch designed to activate the
display during quiescent conditions, silence the audible
signal, scroll the display for multiple messages and check
field programmed message text.
The Alphanumeric Display/Printer Interface may be
programmed to operate the printer in three different
modes, “Alarm”, “Alarm & Trouble” and “Event Logger”.
When the Alphanumeric/Printer Interface receives a report
from the Control Panel, which changes the mode of
operation from quiescent to Alarm and/or Trouble mode(s),
then a user selected field programmed message is
displayed and may be programmed to print on a standard
serial printer. The Alphanumeric/Printer Interface is
continuously communicating with the Control Panel via the
Network Communication Line so that any malfunction that
interrupts communication will cause a trouble signal at the
Control Panel.

Engineer and Architect Specifications
Remote Alphanumeric shall connect to the Network
Communications Line and be completely field program-
mable. It shall have two lines of 40 characters each, and
will indicate first alarm. There will be an audible device that
will activate upon alarm. These annunciators shall also
support 1,000 history log events. When installed in the
control panel cabinet, it shall be model LAN or LPI. If
remote installed, the model shall be RAN or RPI. The user
text shall be totally field programmable with customers
defined message (80 characters max.), including time and
date.
Operation
In its normal quiescent mode, the Alphanumeric display is
blank. If the next message switch is activated, three
displays will rotate continuously in 5 second intervals. The
first display consists of 80 asterisks (*), which are used to
check each character position on the display. The second
display reports system status with time and date, including
whether the system is in day or night mode. Finally, the
third display consists of two lines of up to 40 characters
each which identify the end user.
If one or more trouble conditions occur on the IXL® system,
an identifying message and the number of troubles are
displayed and the audible signal device is actuated. When
a new trouble condition is reported, the Alphanumeric
Display is automatically updated to show the most recent
report. Activation of the “ACKNOWLEDGE” switch will
silence the trouble indication. When all trouble conditions
have been corrected, the display will automatically return
to its quiescent mode.
When an alarm occurs on the system, a user selected field
programmed message will be displayed and/or printed. A
second display will periodically indicate the total number of
alarms on the system. If multiple alarms occur simulta-
neously, the user-selected message of each alarm may be
viewed by successive operation of the “ACKNOWLEDGE”
switch. Whenever the first alarm reported is displayed, a
“1st alarm” indication will flash at the right side of the
display.
When the system is reset, the display will return to the
quiescent mode. Subsequent alarm reports from initiating
devices that remain activated after system reset will be
displayed and/or printed.
Application
The Alphanumeric/Printer Interface is frequently utilized in
areas remote from the control panel, where annunciation is
required. Its user selectable display of alarms provided an
English text readout for identifiable devices connected to
the Control Panel. Its printer interface drives a serial printer.
Text annunciation allows for ease of identification of the
affected area under an emergency condition. Supports
selective message vectoring to particular A/P annuncia-
tors.
Installation
The local Alphanumeric/Printer Interface may be installed
in the Control Panel. The remote Alphanumeric/Printer
Interface is constructed to be mounted on a 19” width by
5.25” high rack mounting plate, with an overall depth
requirement of 2.75”. The display should be mounted so
that the liquid crystal display is 4’ to 5’ above floor level for
an optimum viewing angle. The viewing angle may be
adjusted if necessary. However, best results are obtained
at the above recommended height.
